Breakfast

Home made.

Haven't had a really good breakfast in a while so thought I would change that today. Basically, simple eggs and bacon. I made a red potato and egg scramble, put it between two pieces of the rosemary olive oil bread (also used in steak sandwiches), then topped it with a fried egg, some crumbled bacon, and a little parsley.

And, yes I eat on paper plates (easy to clean).

It was nice to finally have breakfast again .... Three stars.

Steak Sandwiches

Home made meal.

Had some sirloin the other day, so with the left overs we decided to make steak sandwiches. 

Basically, just grilled up the steak again in some olive oil, added a little more seasoning, and made sandwiches. The bread was a rosemary olive oil loaf that we grilled. We also added caramelized red onions and a sauce I made that was horseradish, fat free mayo, a little fresh and easy ranch, dijon mustard, and a little garlic salt and cracked black pepper. 

Sides were thinly sliced potatoes cooked in olive oil with spices, and topped with some parmesan cheese, and some antipasto salad. 

Overall, it was pretty good, though I wasn't too big of a fan of the meat either night we had it.  

One and a half to two stars, though the other people that ate it liked it much more than I did.

Swordfish Confit

Swordfish Confit eaten at Victoria Club in Riverside, California

This meal started off with a not so familiar shrimp cocktail (seen above). Unlike the usual glass with the cocktail sauce inside, and the shrimp hanging around the edge, this came in a round tube, with three different items. 

On the left, is a shrimp ceviche, which I personally found very delicious. It was slightly spicy, but altogether, very nice. In the middle is an avocado salad, that has some watermelon in it, and which I thoroughly disliked. It tasted ... weird. On the right is the more similar, huge piece of shrimp with cocktail sauce.

After the appetizer, I had a green salad with ranch dressing on the side, with rolls. 

After that was the main event, the star of the show:

Swordfish Confit, served over spaghetti squash in a vinaigrette, topped with watercress, and served with three types of potatoes.

Overall, pretty decent. Not my favorite piece of fish, but the potatoes were absolutely delicious. I did not care much for the spaghetti squash either. 

Three Stars.
